It was dangerous, but I knew I had to do it.

I stepped into the portal to a dimension leading to a serial killer's world. How did I know? I knew because literally everything around me was dead.

"My sister is in here somewhere and I know it, I just have to find her," I said to myself. I wandered in the empty, cold and blood filled streets. I went to the nearest building to see if anyone was alive because this looked like a zone filled with ants and a giant stepped on all of them. I found a strong man in a small apartment so I asked him if they saw a little girl running and they said:" I heard a little girl scream, so I looked out and saw her being chased by someone with a knife, they were both heading west so you should try the mall. Don't worry, I'll come with you. So when we got to the mall, we saw her cornered by the serial killer. The man knocked him out and I ran to my little sister. She was okay, just a little bruised. We ran back east past the apartments and shops before making it to the portal. When we entered, I quickly shut the portal and saw the killer smiling at me which told me this wasn't the end. When I closed the portal it said: "CLOSED DIMENSION: "4008", PORTAL CODE: "15562"

26 YEARS LATER

Now that I lived in a nice house, got married with kids and all of that, on top of that, I completely forgot about the killer I had to face years ago. In my town a new science laboratory opened. Their first discovery was how to open portals to other dimensions so they called everyone in town to take a look inside the portals leading to any dimension. So on the day of the exhibition, I took my family to the lab. When it was our turn, we went in and as soon as we entered, everything was very familiar. It was like I had traveled back in time and I was getting major deja-vu. I soon realised that I was back in the dimension where I met the killer. I said to my wife and kids : "We need to get out of here now because this is where I had to face the killer." After explaining, we were about to dash for the portal, but it shut behind us. The lab called us and said : "There has been a power outage, we're trying to get the generator running but it will take some time." Then I said : "I have been in this dimension before and there is a loose serial killer here."

Then they said : "Don't worry sir, we will send the military as soon as we get the portal open."After that they hung up and I said to my family: "Okay listen, we'll stick together and wait for help." But then my wife said : "Honey, if we just wait here in plain sight, we are just his easiest targets." I thought for a moment and said: "Okay we'll just roam around but we won't go further away from here." After about 30 minutes, I got a call that the generator is active and we will start the portal in 5 minutes. Meanwhile I had to get my family together.

After finding the kids, I looked in the mall and found my wife in the restroom for some reason. She told me she heard something or someone so she hid here. We quickly got back to the open portal, but I saw a familiar face from afar which belonged to the killer. He was running toward us, but I quickly called for security. They brought in guns and back-up and I also told them to bring a tranquilizer and truth serum.

We shot him with the tranquilizer and gave him the serum. When he woke up he was already tied with a rope and was disarmed. We made him spill all the information he had, even his name for some reason. He told us his sad origin about why he was a killer and after listening to it my heart was really touched but after that we still had to kill him.

THE END
